Training to Consume Oxygen

As we get further into the summer, we're going to start doing some faster pace workouts that stress your ability to deliver oxygen to your muscles.

A very standard entry level workout might be written something like this

4 x 3 minutes @ 90% + 4 x 200 @ 100%.

In short, the 3 minute intervals would be designed to lower the oxygen levels in your muscle cells for 12 minutes in order to stimulate your cells to make adaptations that will allow them to use more oxygen in the future.

The faster 200m repetitions would be designed to make you efficient at your maximum speed without being overly exhausting.

Please watch the video I've created for more details before tomorrow's workout.
